Things to Do  

Maghrebian Look

Maghrebian Look, Mojácar

 solopes Says:  White houses climbing the hills, compose an unspoilt image of Mediterranean architecture, with a taste of Maghreb. We were so "cooked" that, after a swim, we left quickly to a milder place. But, next time, with air conditioned in the car, we will stop and look around. We... 

Dive, quickly!

Dive, quickly!, Mojácar

 solopes Says:  A few minutes before arriving in Mojacar, passing in Sorbas, we were stopped by road works. We had no air conditioned, and the dust was so strong, that we had to keep the windows closed all the time. The temperature inside the car went over 60º C, for sure, during... I say...

The white cake

The white cake, Mojácar

 doptee Says:  Mojacar has 2 parts, the old spanish/arabish part with white houses in it on the hill, and the modern tourist village on the beach. Both are great, however the beach part is similar to other spanish beach villages. But the old Mojacar is something special. You will find a...

Rent a car danger, Mojácar

At the edge of "Sahara"

 Hot, hot, hot, only the sea allowed a little relief. The white houses climbing the hills rival with Tarifa, in its Moroccan look. Nowhere else in Europe we felt so close to the Sahara.
